Confront the Climate Crisis

We are the confront the climate crisis campaign - a coalition of students across Indiana working for environmental justice. Check out our campaign video and sign our petition: tinyurl.com/inclimatepetit…. Video by @zayne_shalabi

Today I spoke before some youth climate activists fighting for a livable climate. Climate is interconnected with so many issues—healthcare, housing affordability, and reproductive justice. I'll be once again supporting the passage of essential climate bills this year!

Meet the 2023 Hoosier Resilience Heroes: A junior at @WL_RDP, Rahul Durai is the co-leader of @ConfrontCrisis and a tireless advicate for #climateaction in Indiana. #HRH2023 eri.iu.edu/who-we-work-wi…

@SenatorYoder Thank you for your hard work, @SenatorYoder! This vote is disappointing, but we are optimistic that persistence will yield more progress. We look forward to continuing to work with you for the future of Indiana! 💚🌎

I brought an amendment to restore the climate task force shot down earlier in session. We would have funded it with an incoming $3m federal grant: we could have made a climate plan at minimal cost to Hoosiers. The amendment failed. This is critical for IN—I’ll keep fighting!

Unfortunately, SB 335 did not receive a vote in committee. However, we are not stopping here. We must keep the conversation going. Please contact your Senator and share your feelings about SB 335's outcome in committee. ow.ly/emTb50MXvL7 @ConfrontCrisis

HEC's ED, Sam Carpenter, calls on IN legislators to plan and prepare for #climatechange by supporting SB 335, creating a bipartisan climate task force with industry experts to study various climate solutions. Urge your Senator to support SB 335: ow.ly/yIEy50MRjsv

This was a fun one: Greater Lafayette residents searched for ‘climate change’ in 2022 more than anywhere in the country @ConfrontCrisis wbaa.org/science-and-en…

Our 2023 Indiana General Assembly priorities include conservation funding, climate action, community solar, complete coal ash cleanup, and lead testing. 🔔 Turn on social media and email notifications to get the latest legislative session updates!

From Google's Local Year in Search 2022! GO LAFAYETTE! about.google/stories/local-… This probably happened due to the passionate work of Lafayette's (and all of IN's) scientists, educators, government officials, and advocates to raise awareness! 🌎 💚 #ConfrontTheClimateCrisis

It was an honor to be recognized by the Indiana Friends Committee on Legislation for the work I've done with West Lafayette HS's Confront the Climate Crisis organization, regarding the climate bill that I worked on for the 2022 legislative session. Absolutely humbled. Thank you!

Our final panel presentation includes @HSEsavingenergy and Rahul Durai from @ConfrontCrisis talking about solar at school in Indiana!

Thank you for the shout-out, @HEC_ED! By working together in collective action, we can accomplish anything!

Genevieve and Rahul had a specatular day at @earthcharterindiana's Climate Leadership Summit in Richmond, Indiana! #CLS7 was full of so many amazing Hoosiers who collectively knew so much knowledge about climate solutions. We cannot wait for #CLS8 next year!
